Yes! Thankyou for taking this huge role! (I know I wouldn't have the time to update the thread). Thanks as well for making the Poll idea happen! And making it weekly!!!

This thread and at Google + is where I mostly discuss animes.

So I'm looking back through Erased, and comparing characters names, and I'm having trouble understanding something.

Is that girlish boy in the group of friends one of the victims? The names (Hiromi) and faces are the same...but so far Satoru's only been focused on keeping Hinazuki alive. If that character is in his group of friends, and he can keep track of the names and faces of all the victims, it seems to me he should at least make that connection. So far I don't think it's even been mentioned...so I have no idea if he is aware or not.

Just seems odd that he's throwing all his focus on one single victim when another victim is right next to him.

I think his current train of thought is that if he can stop the first murder, it may stop the train of murders. That said, I think the murder of Hinazuki is meant to be a foregone conclusion and that stopping the murderer from taking the first victim isn't the goal. Rather, the goal is using the first victim to catch the murderer. It would make for an incredibly harsh reality, but considering he was sent back after his mother became a victim, it doesn't quite click that the goal is saving Hinazuki, as if it will completely stop this murderer's impulses.

The main character seems to be under the impression that stopping the first murder will break the chain and stop all the murders.  He also has been carrying a massive amount of guilt all his life over Kayo and Yuki, so I think that factors into his tunnel vision, as well.  Unfortunately, reality is seldom so simple, as I think he's about to find out.  Also, the original 'goal' of his time jump is to reverse the murder of his mother.  I assume his jump will end when that criteria is met, regardless of everything else.  

Plus, Hiromi was the last child killed.  The main character probably thinks he has time before he needs to focus on him.  Hiromi is already a part of his group, as well, where he had to work hard to get close to Kayo.  He probably thinks Hiromi's murder will be the easiest to stop.

Edit:  NEVER go to the Wikipedia page for ERASED!  It spoils the entire story almost immediately.

Don't listen to the casual. Noragami is terrible for what you're looking for. I know you need to waste time but you shouldn't waste it by sleeping.

Those be some fighting words, Noragami is far better than Mahouka.

Well, that episode of Grimgar happened. Should be interesting to see how the group continues to develop from here forward.

@versus

You know what you have to do!

Sighs... the current lineup has been stale and shoujo ridden for a while... whatever happened to the glorious days of Shonen supremacy?

Buranki is all you need this season.
